Quit to Play Chess is the final studio album by Cola Boyy, who passed away in March 2024 after winning the hearts of neo-disco and funk enthusiasts, from Los Angeles to Paris, and from Coachella to London. After a critically acclaimed EP (Black Boogie Neon, 2018), a debut album (Prosthetic Boombox, 2021), and collaborations with the likes of MGMT, Benny Sings, and The Avalanches, the self-proclaimed Disabled Disco Innovator was able to finish his new album, groovier than ever. Without boundaries of style, tinted with hip-hop, R&B, and drum & bass, and faithful to his very unique flow, Cola Boyy offers one last record in his image: 12 generous, inventive, psychedelic, and passionate tracks. An album that paints a nuanced yet lyrical portrait of it's era, drawing on the diversity of the contemporary world to offer anthems for those who are in lack of them. The album is a masterpiece on the production side, crafted by talented producers like Andrew VanWyngarden (MGMT), Jared Solomon (producer of SZA, Lola Young, Remi Wolf, Fousheé...), Nate Fox (Chance The Rapper, Lil Wayne), and Lewis OfMan, who built Quit to Play Chess as the most current and genuine project of it's author.
